NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the state to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances cause minor exposure to four
of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by
the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather
than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete
combustion, Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood
